Fodor's Expert Review Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil

This cube-shape art museum built in 1972 by businessman and collector Dr. Alvar Carrillo Gil is one of the top venues in the city for viewing vanguard art. Rotating exhibits showcase contemporary art in a wide range of media, often by young, emerging artists. At times you can also view portions of the immense permanent collection, which consists of more than 2,000 works, about 1,400 of which Gil collected himself. These include more than 50 murals and paintings by José Clemente Orozco as well as important pieces by Rivera, Siqueiros, Klee, and Picasso.
